Don't be confused about whether to choose reactor or dispersing kettle! JCT will help you understand the essential differences between the two and provide the most professional advice on customizing your production line.
| Reactor | Dispersing Kettle | |
| Main Function | Chemical reactions, heating, cooling, mixing | High-speed dispersing, mixing, emulsification, and powder dispersion |
| Mixing Method | Typically use anchor, frame, paddle or ribbon agitators | Usually uses a high-speed dispersing disc or an anchor type+dispersing disc combination |
| Speed Range | Low to medium speed (generally 20-200 rpm) | High speed (up to 1000-3000 rpm) |
| Applicable Materials | Systems requiring chemical reactions (such as resins, polymers, synthesis reactions, etc.) | Systems requiring dispersion of solid powders, emulsification of liquids, and deagglomeration (such as emulsions, coatings, adhesives, etc.) |
| Shear Force | Weak, primarily used for macroscopic stirring and uniform heat transfer | Strong, capable of breaking, dispersing and homogenizing particles |
| Temperature Control System | Requires a jacket or pipe coil heating and cooling system to strictly control reaction temperature | Optional jacket heating/cooling, but the focus is not on reaction, but on stabilizing the dispersion environment |
| Vacuum System | Often equipped with a vacuum system for reaction degassing or distillation | Optional vacuum degassing function |
